Re: vgcreate is hanging while creating volume group.
My problem is still not fixed. I've even tried to create vg with two disks and it didn't work as well.

Re: vgcreate is hanging while creating volume group.
I would,
cat /stand/vmunix > /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?
do the same for the next disk .... and then try to pvcreate and then vgcreate !..
Try this please ... It does't kill ur disk anyway but will wipe out any data in those disks ....
Regds,
Kaps

Re: vgcreate is hanging while creating volume group.
I was working on a similar issue and was just told that the problem is with the default physical extent size for the volume group. Use the -s option to set the physical extent size larger than the default 4M.
i.e. vgcreate -s 64 /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/cXtXdX

11.23 LVM vgcreate can hang when building a volume group
By: Mr. McMahon, HP-UX Kernel GSE
For a volume group to be built successfully, the volume group reserved area (VGRA) must fit inside a single physical extent. If it does not then an error indicating insufficient space should be returned. Under these conditions, with 11.23, a bug results in vgcreate hanging, and it cannot be killed. The kernel stack for vgcreate will probably show the routine
lv_dev_terminate_daemon(k) calling sleep(k).
Where you can affect the parameters used with vgcreate, increasing the extent size or reducing the maximum number of physical extents per PV or the maximum number of PVs are ways to overcome this problem. lvmcompute

Re: vgcreate is hanging while creating volume group.
the symptoms, you're writnig about seem to confirm in my case. But now I have another problem. I tried to initiate disks with medianinit command. After some time it finished with I/O error and now I can see my disks in sam with Total MB: 0! And vgcreate finishes with:
vgcreate: Couldn't open physical volume "/dev/dsk/c2t0d0":
I/O error.
What can I do know? I hope they are not physically damaged ...

attempting to open file (/dev/rdsk/c3t2d0) with read
